Technology
Mercedes-Benz pioneered its first all-electric vehicles in 1906. A century later, the B-Class Electric Drive is a new first among EVs, because it's foremost a Mercedes-Benz. Engineered not just as an alternative to gasoline, it's also a roomy, versatile alternative to EV compromises, letting you enjoy up to 85 miles of range in style and comfort
Say goodbye to your gas station. You can "refuel" your B-Class Electric Drive by plugging it in at home. And while you can use an ordinary 120-volt outlet, upgrading your garage to a 240-volt station can cut your charge time to just a few hours. Check with your local power utility to learn about their incentives and other EV assistance programs.
Performance
Even with an impressive range of up to 85 miles per charge, the fun-to-drive B-Class will energize you, too. It's easy to maneuver, eager to merge, suitable for most any commute, and simple to plug in and charge. Just two hours at a common public charging station can juice up its lithium-ion battery enough to go up to 60 miles.
Without a drop of gasoline or a wisp of tailpipe emissions, the B-Class Electric Drive whisks to 60 mph in under 8 seconds. Its advanced electric motor generates 251 lb-ft of torque (comparable to our best-selling sedan) starting at 0 rpm. So you get the full reward of its performance at any speed. Think of it as the strong, silent type.
Design
Within its sleek yet space-efficient 5-door design, five passengers enjoy roomy accommodations, plus the versatility of folding rear seats and a wide-opening hatch. The electric drivetrain is minimized under the cabin floor and short hood. As a result, the people space can be maximized, for the comfort and safety expected of a Mercedes-Benz.
Who says an EV has to look like it came from outer space? The B-Class is designed around its inner space, and engineered to feel glued to the road. Its sculpting is aerodynamic. Its stance is athletic. And its details are iconic, from its grille to its LED taillamps. So it's sporty, elegant and fresh, without a hint of strange, eccentric or far-fetched.
